This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
51. διχοτομήσει. See Dan 2:5; Dan 3:29. μένει γὰρ ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἔχων πρίσαι σε μέσον, (Susanna, 59.) Comp. also ‘Multos honesti ordinis aut ad bestias condemnavit, aut serra dissecuit.’ Sueton. Calig. 17, quoted by Wetstein, who gives other instances.

μετὰ τῶν ὑποκριτῶν. St Luke has μετὰ τῶν ἀπίστων. Such adaptations of the Gentile Evangelist to his readers are always interesting. Hypocrisy was especially a Jewish sin. St Luke adds our Lord’s words on the degrees of punishment, varying with the degrees of responsibility.
